Radio luminary Krista Tippett is this week's guest on the Oklahoma Today podcast. Known for enlightening conversations with the likes of Maya Angelou and Joy Harjo on the award-winning former National Public Radio program On Being, the Shawnee native recently spoke with Photo Editor Megan Rossman about taking the show to an independent digital format through the On Being Project, her past work, and the connection Tippett still feels with her home state. See Oklahoma Today's new November/December issue to read a Q&A version of this conversation. 

In addition to a fabulous guest, the Oklahoma Today editors crack open the mental thesaurus to describe our unique state, and podvents this week are particularly animal friendly.
